With lowly fear and shame

Verse 1
With lowly fear and shame
My Saviour I proclaim;
Prostrate at thy footstool own,
Own in love’s simplicity,
Thou hast made thy mercy known,
Magnified thy power on me.

Verse 2
For pardon I believ’d,
And have the grace receiv’d:
Jesus, mighty to redeem
Bless’d me with a sudden cure:
Yes; I touch’d his garment’s hem,
Touch’d, and felt my pardon sure.

Verse 3
The truth I now declare,
My testimony bear,
Jesus’ grace to sinners tell;
All the benefit may find;
Present is his power to heal
Me, and them, and all mankind.
